北京市知识产权行政保护典型案例
案例一
案件名称
发明专利默示许可案
办案单位
北京市知识产权局
案情简介
某公司就其扩底桩类专利与京津两个工程实施单位的发明专利侵权纠纷，向行政机关提出裁决请求。行政机关认为，某公司在先同意发包方、设计单位在施工图纸上采用专利技术，后同意与设计单位共有专利权，两被请求人作为施工单位中标后，必然按照图纸进行施工，对此该公司应当能够合理预见。因此对于两被请求人实施涉案专利技术的行为构成默示许可，其主张两被请求人侵犯其专利权不予支持。
典型意义
根据请求人前有作为专利权人允许工程发包方采用其专利技术的意思表示，后有承包部分工程，发现施工图纸采用其专利技术未提出异议，且仍将专利权从单独所有变更为与工程设计单位共有的具体行为，行政机关综合考量推断其存在默示许可，为类似案件审理判定提供了重要参考。

Typical Cases of Administrative Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in Beijing
Case One
Case Name
Implied License for Invention Patent
Handling Department
Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office
Case Overview
A company filed a request for administrative adjudication with the administrative authority regarding a patent infringement dispute over its invention patent of “Under-reamed Pile” with two engineering entities in Beijing and Tianjin. The administrative authority held that the company had previously consented to the employer and design unit using its patented technology on the construction drawings and later consented to jointly owning the patent rights with the design unit. As the two respondents, as construction units, were awarded the contract and were bound to carry out construction in accordance with the drawings, the company should have reasonably anticipated this. Therefore, the respondents' acts of exploiting the patented technology involved in the case constituted implied licenses, and the company's claim that the respondents infringed its patent rights was not supported.
Typical Significance
Based on the petitioner's previous acts as the patent holder allowing the employer to adopt its patented technology, and subsequently contracting for part of the project without raising objections when discovering that the construction drawings employed its patented technology, as well as subsequently changing the patent ownership from exclusive ownership to joint ownership with the engineering design unit, the administrative authority, after comprehensively consideration, inferred the existence of implied licenses. This provides an important reference for the adjudication of similar cases.
Case Two
Case Name
Patent Infringement Dispute Over "Toner Cartridge and Image Forming Device" Decided in Court
Handling Department
Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office
Case Overview
A film company, the petitioner, filed a request for administrative adjudication with the administrative authority regarding a patent infringement dispute over its invention patent of "Toner Cartridge and Image Forming Device" with two Beijing-based companies and a Zhongshan-based company. The petitioner alleged that a Beijing-based company containing the Chinese character “pinyou” in its name, without permission, offered to sell and sold toner cartridges manufactured and sold by another Beijing-based company containing the Chinese character “wei” in its name and the Zhongshan-based company, which fell within the scope of protection of the patent involved and constituted infringement.
After being summoned, the three respondents failed to appear without justification, and the administrative authority heard the case in absentia in accordance with the law. Through on-site inspections and technical comparisons, it was confirmed that the alleged infringing toner cartridges fell within the scope of protection of the patent involved. The administrative authority made a decision in court, ordering the two Beijing-based companies and the Zhongshan-based company to stop the infringing activities.
Typical Significance
The petitioner in this case is a well-known foreign-related enterprise. The panel heard the case in absentia and made a decision in court in accordance with the law, thus rapidly resolving the patent dispute and reasonably protecting the rights and interests of foreign investors. This has positive significance for building a legal and international business environment.

Case Name

After investigation, the law enforcement authorities determined that the company's acts infringed upon the exclusive right to use the registered trademark of "Beijing Enamel Factory" and the exclusive right to use Olympic symbols. Consequently, the "Winter Olympic Zun" products were confiscated in accordance with the law, and a total fine of RMB 3,000 was imposed on the company.
Typical Significance
This case serves as a typical example of protecting the exclusive right to use Olympic symbols in the "post-Winter Olympic era", effectively enhancing the efficiency of administrative law enforcement in the field of intellectual property rights.

These goods were suspected of infringing upon the exclusive right to use the trademark registered with the General Administration of Customs by the rightful owners of the aforementioned brands.

Case Six
Case Name
Parallel Import of Lubricating Oil by a Beijing-based Trading Company
Handling Department
Beijing Daxing District Administration for Market Regulation
Case Overview
A Beijing-based trading company imported "Mobil" lubricating oil produced in Europe from Germany and sold it in China. The holder of the "Mobil" trademark issued an authentication report stating that the products involved in the case "did not conform to the characteristics of genuine products." Although the trading company was suspected of selling products infringing upon the exclusive right to use the registered trademark, it provided legitimate source materials such as contracts, customs declarations, and import duty payment certificates.The law enforcement agency determined that the products involved in the case were legitimate parallel imports and did not constitute an act of selling products infringing upon the exclusive right to use the registered trademark. Therefore, no administrative penalty was imposed on the party involved.
Typical Significance
Current laws and regulations do not have a clear definition of whether parallel imports infringe upon exclusive right to use the registered trademark. This case, focusing on the legislative intent of the Trademark Law, establishes the legitimacy boundary of parallel imports under the Trademark Law by measuring whether parallel imports disrupt the trademark's function of identifying the source and guaranteeing the quality of goods. This provides a clear guidance for potential parallel imports in the future.
Case Seven
Case Name

Typical Significance
The trademark agency company used false materials to apply for the registration of a geographical indication certification trademark, demonstrating clear subjective malice.

Case Eight
Case Name

After an on-site inspection by the Changping District Administration for Market Regulation, 1,187 infringing goods were seized. During the subsequent investigation, the party involved refused to cooperate. The law enforcement personnel requested assistance from Alibaba (China) Co., Ltd. for collaborative investigation to determine the volume and transaction amount of the goods involved in the case. As the amount of illegal business operations in this case was significant, it reached the standard for criminal prosecution. After communicating with the procuratorial organ, the case was transferred to the public security department for investigation and handling.
The court sentenced the legal representative of the party involved to a fixed-term imprisonment of one year and five months and imposed a fine of RMB 70,000.
Typical Significance
This case is a typical example of the "connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice" in the field of trademark protection. The dual-track system of administrative protection and judicial protection is a prominent feature of China's intellectual property protection mechanism. The administrative law enforcement organ conducted a thorough investigation into the report, promptly transferred the case to the judicial organ, and pursued criminal liability against the party involved, which precisely hit the sale of infringing goods and effectively maintained a good market order.

It also implements the specific contents of the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Deepening the Collaborative Development of Intellectual Property in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei". Through cross-regional synchronized law enforcement, it demonstrates the implementation of the rapid and coordinated protection mechanism across regions.

Handling Department
Beijing Mentougou District Administration for Market Regulation

An administrative penalty of a warning and a fine of RMB 3,000 was imposed in accordance with Article 12 of the "Several Provisions on Regulating Trademark Application and Registration Acts".

The party involved sought to capitalize on the popularity of China's aerospace industry. The investigation and handling of this case reflect China's strict crackdown on malicious trademark registrations, contributing to the maintenance of the market environment and competition order.
